"For Reasons Unknown" – A Deafening Silence
Yet another ambulance whizzes by (I lose count these days). Yet another sad story of a young person dying in their sleep for ‘reasons unknown’. Yet another week goes past with excess mortality way above normal: And yet the sound of crickets chirping in the echo chamber continues.
I had thought we’d seen enough weirdness to fill our days when people were somehow persuaded that they could prevent the spread of a microscopic virus by various superstitious rituals such as keeping 2 metres apart, covering their faces with bits of cloth, and scrubbing their hands with alcoholic squirty things.
But we hadn’t seen anything yet. We’ve now moved onto the phase in the movie where people are dying of the ‘cure’, and yet there’s no acknowledgement, no outcry, no demands for those who did this to be held to account. Is this how we go out — with a whimper? Or is there a tipping point when millions finally realise just how they were duped into giving up their liberties, their health and even their lives?
